I think the 69 Pontiac would either be a 400 or 455? $$'s permitting I would go for a '63 Split rear Window Vette.

69 RS SS Camaro if it is to be American.
Or if you want a different Aussie muscle car besides a torana then you cant go past a Vitamen C E38 replica.

a '68-'72 Big block/4spd powered 2dr Chevy Nova would be a hot little ride that isn't as common as a Muzzy or Camaro over here. Prices are pretty good on them still too, could probably have one for less the 20grand landed.
Here's a pic of one so you can see the style of one.

Yeah, Thats my pick as well. Funnily enough I have been thinking of doing the same. I might not get a fortune for my car, but I may be able to get enough for a average condition US muscle car. I have been seriously looking at a Dodge challenger rather than a Plymouth Cuda. Same body but generally quite a bit cheaper.Go the cuda!, everyones got a camaro

The nice looking cudas '70-72's are really starting to get very pricey, that said they are a beautiful muscle car

Nice to see Im not the only one who considers selling thier Torana for some real US muscle. For me it would be a 67-68 Camaro or Challenger.
Others I would buy given the right chance would be a Nova or Chevelle, or a C4 vette would be a great sunday cruiser. Dont think I would sell the SS for these though.
BUT these two???????

Hell I would sell my torana AND my wife for those two. I mean you can always find another woman, but it would be hard to find two more cars like that!!!Dont think I would sell the SS for these though.
BUT these two???????

You are gouing to have to look far from home rexxy to find anything decent.
There's a rusty 78 camaro at andergrove for 10k! I wouldn't go near it!
Get yourself a 911 & enjoy the thrill of driving! Then you can keep the slar too!
I reckon a blat around the block in mine would be the clincher!
Glad to see you have got the pc working again!
